Westport School Committee member Carolina Africano is serving a one-year probation sentence for a drunken driving case in Fall River District Court.

Africano, 50, was scheduled to stand trial Tuesday, but court records show she admitted to sufficient facts on Dec. 5 to charges of operating under the influence of liquor.

The disposition means Africano admitted that the facts of the case could have warranted a jury to convict her at trial.

Swansea police had alleged that Africano was driving west on Interstate 195, at 11:45 p.m. on June 5, 2012, when her Ford Ranger was spotted by off-duty Swansea Officer Christopher Ball, who said the pickup truck was being operated erratically and weaving in the lanes.

Swansea officers Mark Foley and Donald DiBiasio stopped Africano’s vehicle in Swansea on I-195. The officers arrested Africano after alleging that she failed field sobriety tests.

Africano’s case was continued without a finding until Dec. 4, meaning the case will be dismissed if she does not violate probation. She lost her license for 45 days and was ordered to participate in a drug and alcohol education program for first- and second-time OUI offenders, court records said.

Prosecutors dismissed a negligent operation of a motor vehicle charge.

Africano was also deemed not responsible for charges of marked lanes violation and failure to wear a seat belt.
